Emily Kathryn is growing so fast. I don't feel like I have a baby anymore:( She is talking all the time and wants to do everything herself...she says to me all the time "I try".
Here are a few things I'd like to remember:
- She is quite aware of things, and now says that things "scare" her. Lightning, the dark, etc. all scare her...so she says. Just the other day she said to me "boys scare me".
- She can count to 10 and tries to do her ABC's but she's got many of them confused:)
- She LOVES the park, bubbles, and treats!
- Her favorite thing to watch is Dora
- She LOVES Fancy Nancy books. For a long time EmK would not let me read to her. A friend suggested Fancy Nancy books and now we are obsessed. I could literally recite Fancy Nancy and the Fabulous Fashion Boutique:) We got a few new books for Easter, so I'm hoping to give this one a break.
- She loves to play with Barbies and is very worried about making sure they have shoes (which are very hard to keep up with)
- Speaking of books, EmK loves a bedtime routine. Every night she says "fancy nancy" so we read. Then she says "rock" so we do. While rocking she wants to sing specific songs which include: "Twinkle", "ABC's", "Jesus", and "Sunshine". I know she enjoys all this, but I also think she is just delaying bedtime:)
- She recently jumped out of her crib, so I think a "big girl" bed is in her future very soon!
- EmK has started praying and will say the prayer for dinner or at bedtime. It's sweet to hear her name people when I ask who we should pray for.
- She's becoming more aware of her friends and talks or mentions them. She loves school and asks if she's going just about every day.
- Her favorite foods/drinks: milk, cheese toast, black beans, fruits, smarties:), and ketchup (she would dip just about anything in ketchup).
My mom came to visit a few weeks ago and EmK decided to keep her company in the bathroom while she got ready.
...and my mom brought her a Fancy Nancy nightgown and slippers...
This is our newest face when we say "cheese". We got our picture made at church last weekend for their new directory and the photographer got several of these when she kept telling us to "say cheese".
We had a fun Easter. We went to a couple of egg hunts and spent Easter in Birmingham with Jordan's family. It was a GREAT weekend! I didn't take a single picture at the egg hunt, but luckily my sweet friend Kim did. Emily Kathryn enjoyed finding the eggs, but she was really more excited about what was inside...this girl loves candy!!
After church, we went to Jordan's parents for lunch. We spent most of the afternoon blowing bubbles with our butterfly wand at Lulu and Papa's house. By the way, Lulu made EmK's beautiful Easter dress!!
....and eating LOTS of candy:)
